A quick outing this morning (8:00) turned up just one species (Common
Yellowthroat). I had just about given up on the day for migrants, when
a wave of activity hit the yard. 10 warbler species in 10 minutes in
one small willow tree. In the next hour and half, I found 7 more
species, including 2 Cape-Mays, plus a Philadelphia Vireo.

After 10+ falls of birding the area, I still can't come close to
predicting the good mornings.
